Archana Gound was working at Walmart Canada for seven years - most recently as an Assistant Store Manager - before she took the leap to switch her career path and study Optical Sciences through our Live Better U program. “LBU helped me explore other areas of the business that I was interested in,” said Archana, who now a Student Optician. “It’s helping me grow my career, expand my future with the company, and support me in becoming an optician.” In fall 2023, LBU was launched with the intention for associates to gain the skills needed for the future, all without having to worry about the cost of tuition, books, and fees. “The financial support and not having to worry about paying anything upfront was the biggest relief for me,” said Archana.

Last week, we welcomed global Walmart Tech leaders to our head office in Mississauga!  Suresh Kumar, EVP, CTO and CDO of Walmart Inc., Tim Simmons, SVP and Chief Product Officer of Walmart International, and Vinod Bidarkoppa, EVP and CTO of Walmart International, spoke to our associates at a town hall event along with Walmart Canada President and CEO Gonzalo Gebara and our CTO Michon Williams.  The group spoke about how we’re leaning into being a people-led, tech-powered, omnichannel retailer.  Our technology strategy always starts with the customer, Suresh said. We first work to understand how we can best serve our customers, then use technology to offer them a great shopping experience. This is just one example of how we keep people at the heart of our business.  Thank you to Suresh, Tim, and Vinod for taking the time to visit us at Walmart Canada and spend time with our associates!  #Walmart #WalmartCanada

On Remembrance Day, we honour those who served our country and those who died fighting for peace, so we can live as we do today. The day is an opportunity to pay tribute to members of the Canadian Armed Forces who defended our values and our freedoms.

At 11 a.m. local time, we will observe a moment of silence in our stores, our distribution centres, and our head office to remember all Canadian veterans. #Walmart #WalmartCanada #CanadaRemembers
